System and method for triggering dormant state in a mobile station in a UMTS/LTE network

摘要

A wireless communication network is provided. The network includes a plurality of mobile stations and at least one radio network controller (RNC) in communication with at least one of the mobile stations. The RNC is configured to receive a PDP context message from a first one of the mobile stations, the PDP context message having a traffic class associated with an idle connection. The RNC is also configured, in response to receiving the PDP context message, to send a connection release message to the first mobile station. The connection release message directs the first mobile station to move to a dormant state.
